Hi.
I removed my tank last week to paint the bathroom. After replacing it, I get a gush of water between the tank and toilet (outside). The odd part (at least to me) is that it only leaks when I flush it. And, it gushes out.
That would be the gasket, right? I can't imagine it would leak that visibly from the bolt/holes, so it must be leaking around the center hole of the gasket? Did I over-tighten the big plastic nut on the bottom? Or, not tight enough? How tight do the bolts need to be?
I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Mike
BTW - it's this type of gasket http://www.faucetdepot.com/faucetdepot/ProductDetail.asp?Product=96709&AffiliateID=GoogleDirectFeed&gclid=CjwKEAjw-vewBRDH1-b52Lig1hkSJACTPfVFsIXLPyih0hknYzMIaE7aT-U6SenEYRkeETMlFwOgCRoCfQnw_wcB
